This was Elvis shortly after we got him, when he was only a few months old. He was a mushy, very loving little guy. He was the type that let you hold him for a while and enjoyed snuggling with you. He was playful but never mean, ever. Whenever him and his brother Linkin would fight, he would always be the one to hiss saying “Enough”! Boy did he love his treats. As soon as the sound of some kind of food was heard in the kitchen, there he was looking up at you waiting for some for him.
After a few weeks of not being well and more recently being diagnosed with untreatable cancer, he was put to sleep this past weekend. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. To think that he wasn’t just a pet but part of the “family” that Joe and I share together. This was him a few days ago, sleeping in my arms. The way he spent a lot of his last days.
And having such an emotional day on Saturday, my blood sugars were a mess. Grief not only affects your heart and your mind, it also affects your blood sugar. Go figure.
R.I.P. Elvis —- we are going to miss you so very much 
You have me in tears.
I am so, so sorry for both of you!! And I know he misses you guys too.
I hate that grief raises my blood sugars. So not fair.
I am so sorry, Stacey. ((((HUGS))))
I am so sorry, Stacey. ((((HUGS)))
Stacey – I’m so sorry to hear about Elvis. Losing a pet is never easy.
I am so sorry Stacey. Just know that you loved Elvis and he loved you. I am still dealing with Buddy’s loss myself.
What great pictures. He looks like he was such a sweetheart…I’m so, so sorry, Stacey.

I still miss my three babies. Unless you have had one, you can not understand how smart and wonderful a ferret can be. Elvis was a doll and you gave him a truly happy life. (((Hugs)))
Hugs! I know how much he meant to you.
I am soooo sorry Stacey. Elvis looked like such a cutey. Pets are so much more then just “pets” and I hate that you have to deal with this loss.
Please take care and know that I sending ninja hugs your way.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Stacey. I am also glad I got the opportunity to meet him at the JDRF walk. He was a sweetie. Hang in there, we’re all here for you.
Oh Stacey, I’m so sorry
Oh what a sweet little baby he was. Losing a pet, a member of your family, is so so hard. Take care of yourself and allow yourself what ever you are feeling. I’ll continue to keep you, your DH, Elvis and Linkin in my thoughts.
No words…just love sent your way
What a lovebug ! Stacey, I’m so sorry.

[...] the only comfort we have is that he is now playing again with his brother Elvis, who we lost only 13 months ago. [...]
